Like Like. They would have set off from London at that time. Given that the burial was in Derby it would have taken a long time to get there.
I know the procession passed through Northampton as it was mentioned in their local paper. Like Liked by 2 people. The procession through Northampton would have been to take in the home she grew up in with her family, the Spencers at Althorp House. Would there have been slightly more prestige in burying at the cathedral in Derby rather than the family seat?
I imagine the duke would have decided that being the duchess and his wife albeit in name only, that it was fitting for her to be buried at the more prestigious family vault at Derby. I do wonder what Georgiana may have made of that idea! Like Liked by 1 person. As a Derbyshire girl I know it feels like an age to get to London on a train, let alone with horse and carriage!
Also love the miniatures of her, so pretty. Having lived in Derbyshire too I know exactly what you mean! Most illuminating. I greatly enjoyed reading this. I, too, wonder why the change in burial site, how curious. Thank you for such an interesting read. Thank you so much Peter. Not completely sure to be honest, I would assume they were silent horsemen.
It could also be taken to mean that they were physically mute. Possibly they were on horseback in this instance because it was too far to walk from London. I suspect it was customary for worthies to be buried in their county town.

I did read that they passed through Northampton which makes me think they would have collected the men from Althorp, her ancestral home to accompany them. I believe only the men of a family went to funeral services.
Slow travel made life so very different to the life we all experience. I believe that it was not common for women to attend a funeral, they might do something embarrassing like cry!
